"If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair"

As a child of the sixties 'flower power' and hippies were a big influence on my childhood......sadly the peace and love vibe didn't last long.....and seems to be in particularly short supply today......as tourists lie dead on a Tunisian beach.....and Europe prepares to sell Greece down the river.But when visiting San Francisco Haight Ashbury was somewhere we were drawn to visit.....a mecca for middle aged tourists reliving their hippy past,no doubt.....but fun to see all the same.

I remember that song playing over and over again on the radio......and it seemed apt to include it on the page.......along with bright colours and flowers.....lots and lots of layered flowers......and a bit of 'heart' journaling.Let's hope the peace and love vibe returns sometime soon.

As I sit here aware of the rain trickling down the window behind my laptop, your bright and beautiful page has just made me feel warm again! Great to be reminded of the optimism and sense of possibility in those times - we need to keep carrying that torch. The colours and flowers are perfect, Jacky.
